Briefing - European Investment
09 March 2018

Global cross-border capital is fuelling demand with the majority or investors chasing prime assets across all markets.

Prague is the most expensive housing market in the Czech republic. With more than 115,000 students studying in the city and their groeing demands, we examined the state of the capital's student housing market. The lack of modern higher quality purpose built student accommodation is already drawing private sector investment.

With coworking spaces growing on a global scale, we looked at the booming flexible workplace market in Prague. The popularity of the city's coworking office market, which only began about 9 years ago, is on the rise and attracting international operators sich as Business Link or WeWork.

Development activity has picked up over the past two years. The amount of office completions is expected to increase by 28% in 2019 across Europe.
About half of the space under construction is already pre-let. Existing availability and new available supply will account for about 7% of the total stock on average.
The average vacancy rate in our survey area is currently at 5.9%, limiting occupier choice.
